The Opportunity

Providence India is dedicated to digitally advancing our vision of "Health for a Better World." We utilize a variety of advanced technologies, including AI, Citrix, and Power BI, alongside tools like ServiceNow.

Our Information Services (IS) department plays a crucial role in achieving this vision by developing, deploying, and managing applications, tools, and technologies that enhance the experience and productivity of 120,000 caregivers, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes for patients.

  • CITRIX Management: Manage and optimize Citrix solutions to ensure efficient enterprise-wide operations and a seamless user experience.
  • KPI and Metrics Enhancement: Continuously improve our KPIs and dashboard metrics, including initiatives like "Get Current & Stay Current," first contact resolution, MTTR, self-service adoption, SLA, and CSAT. Leverage AI and modern tools with an engineering mindset to refine processes.
  • Leadership and Culture: Demonstrate people leadership by fostering a culture of continuous learning and inspiring those around you, and experience in handling large teams, complex transformations, and successfully building and growing teams.

2030 Vision:

 

By 2030, we aim to be the best place to give and receive care as we create a care delivery model for the future, supported by innovation and positive change. 

 

  • Reduction in Administrative Burden: Achieve at least a 30% reduction in administrative tasks through initiatives such as implementing a comprehensive 24x7 follow-the-sun model, expanding EHR system support where feasible, and driving the adoption of modern AI-based solutions and tools.
  • Creating and Adopting Future Delivery Models: Explore opportunities to lessen the administrative load on clinicians and facilitate new care delivery models and workflow solutions. Support our hospitals in achieving overall CMS 5-star ratings.

 

This role requires someone to balance both current operations and a visionary in seeing opportunities to make steps to achieve 2030 vision. The leader should be able to deal with high degrees of ambiguity and drive clear strategy and implantation plans.
